there are books and a public education system to educate people on what the confederacy did. You dont need a statue that glorifies these villains to educate people

What happens when the people die? What about the books and information? They can be destroyed/edited and falsify information. Remember just about a year or less ago a book was printed and sold. I forget what it was, a school book or something, about how the US did 9/11 to itself as a reason to go to war. Guess that's fact now, because 1 guy put it in a school history book.

I'm not saying keep statues on display for all to see in a public park, rather a specific location. If you want to learn information and see things about the confederacy, then you know to expect it in a confederacy museum. It's not looming there around the corner of your apartment. That, is what I'm saying should be done. Take the better examples of statues and put them there. However, it seems some want to remove any trace things happened, which is not surprising. You do 1 thing in the past someone might be offended by, prepare to be cruxified for it.

Why do you think a museum is any less malleable than textbooks?

I never said it wasn't. It would at least be consolidated.

Then again things are manipulated and altered even in mainstream things. Be no different, do what ever you want. Shove the statues up your ass for all I care. Least then you could claim you desecrated it. That's not directed at you or anyone personally, just a general "I don't care anymore" because there's always going to be something.

you make zero sense. A guy wrote a book and therefore it is true? What are you even on about???

??? theyve been expending resources to maintain these statues for over 100 years and many state legislators have spent the time (ie taxpayer money) to legislate that removal is prohibited. Again you are being naive when you act like racism is a lower class issue.

public resources. not personal resources.

this is a topic about physical monuments, not structural systems of racism that serve to enrich the wealthy and oppress racial minorities. statues, not statutes.

literally all i'm saying here is rich white people are unlikely to personally buy shitty statues of confederate generals; they're certainly likely to support the laws and statutes that make them wealthy!
